Japan goal one of the best assists I've ever seen. Would love to be able to execute such a sly through ball like that but ik I would fuck it up horribly
Also love the highlight videos FIFA made for this tournament. Still watch them regularly 14 years later. Much better than the shit they've done since then
Need UEFA & FIFA to watch these videos & to see this is how they should do it in regards to the base format. Stadium commentary w/normal camera angles that don't change suddenly for no reason during each highlight the way to go.
Would be nice if these footy orgs were to stop taking down videos of old games & then not do anything good w/the footage of those games themselves.
Will say the situation on YouTube has improved considerably in the last 3-4 years for finding good highlights of old games. CL highlights back between 2008-2015 were so hard to find as everything got taken down. Things not as stringent now
FIFA & UEFA tbf seem to have learned & now have videos of previously copyrighted old highlights on their channels. Production value is still poor for my liking
Pretty much all the major leagues & media orgs have good highlight channels nowadays. Need more channels that offer stadium commentary though. Russian & Portuguese leagues the only ones I've seen do this
Don't need complete commentator silence. Just need crowd noise to be equal to commentator
There was an excellent example of this on YouTube showing UK commentary highlights with crowd noise unrestrained for Porto Chelsea a few years back. Immense listening experience. Was taken down unfortunately
